What calms you down?

[Wishmaster]

When I'm stressed or anxious about anything I like listening to classical music...

I usually go for heavy metal, as counterintuitive as that sounds....

Yea, I am a metal fan as well so I can understand.

Sometimes it's nice to crank it up and leave some of your energy and anxieties behind when you turn it off. Sort of like listening to a melancholy song helps relieve sadness.

Other times I'll go for something classical. But if I really want something to calm me down or help me get to sleep I reach for Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin. There's just a simple elegance about them that I really enjoy.

Or if they're singing, I like listening to birds sing outside.

Unfortunately it's too late right now to blast metal, and too early for the robins to sing.

I just lie in bed, zone out and listen to music. That usually does the trick when I feel sad or pissed off.

Giving my cat a hug usually overwrites any overly negative emotions. ^W^

Classical music, delicious food and perhaps a good movie are also good relaxation backups. :3

I have this awful habit of thinking too much, to the point where I feel like my head's going to explode because of too many thoughts. When I feel like that, I usually lie down on my bed, close my eyes, focus on not thinking and that calms me down after a while.

Dud, when I give my cat a hug, he looks at me like "WTF" that usually makes me laugh all the time.

Listening to music or the radio helps.

Computer, holding my girlfriend. That's about it. Before my girlfriend it was masturbation.

If I'm really really agitated, nothing calms me down, I would have an uncontrollable sudden outburst.
